Bono disappointed with singles performance

Bono tells The Mirror he is disappointed that singles from 'No Line On The Horizon' performed poorly, admitting the band did not pull off the pop songs.

Bono has said that he was disappointed with the poor chart performance of the singles taken from the band's latest album, 'No Line On The Horizon'.

Speaking to The Mirror, he accepted that they had failed to "pull off the pop songs", adding: "We weren't really in that mindset and we felt that the album was a kind of an almost extinct species, and we should approach it in totality and create a mood and a feeling, and a beginning, middle and an end. And I suppose we've made a work that is a bit challenging for people who have grown up on a diet of pop stars".

Challenging?! Have you read the lyrics to 'Get On Your Boots', Bono? You must have. Flashing them up on a big screen at the BRITs was your first mistake
